Think about the power of modern social media and all those troll farms with their vegetable accounts. I’ve recently found groups on Lemmy. They’re everywhere.
It's terrifying, honestly. As sociology, psychology, and neurology research becomes more and more understood, feels like it enables governments to become more and more effective at mass manipulation.
The worst part is, there's barely anything that can be done to combat it. The general population can't be assed to give up the worst offending platforms that enable it (e.g. Twitter, Meta, TikTok, etc), despite the plethora of warnings that have been issued over the last 10+ years. The one sliver of hope is the youngest generation not using those platforms because, "those are for old people," but it's just a matter of time for the next "cool" social platform becomes just as corrupted/infested.
Yes, and this is true of almost every technology. The research is directed by capital, the developments are controlled by capital, and the goal is the enforcement of capitalism.
